Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

After four years, Orochimaru finally met the man who gave him, Tsunade, and Jiraiya the shameful title of Sannin.

Sansho Hanzo also did not expect that the commander leading the Konoha ninja troops this time would be Orochimaru.

Seeing Orochimaru's very different temperament and appearance, Sansho Hanzo showed a complicated and inexplicable look in his eyes, and nodded gently.

"Orochimaru, long time no see!"

"You are much stronger now than you were then."

"Come to think of it, now you are enough to truly bear the title of Sannin!"

Orochimaru also looked at the demigod whose name was resounding throughout the ninja world with some emotion. Just like before, his face was covered by a gas mask, and the sickle in his hand still shone with a cold light.

Although he was sitting on a chair, his tall and straight body still felt oppressive.

To be honest, if he hadn't known what Naoki had done to him, Orochimaru would never have believed that this demigod who controlled the ninja power of the entire Rain Country would be a puppet controlled by his own disciples.

"Your Excellency Demigod, long time no see!"

Orochimaru didn't have any special reaction to Sansho Hanzo mentioning the name of Sannin again, but just said hello to the demigod with some regret.

Hanzo waved his hand and signaled the Rain ninja who was guarding the door of the living room to close the door and leave. He faced Orochimaru alone, with a see-through smile slowly appearing in the corners of his eyes.

"Orochimaru, your eyes tell me that you are showing mercy!"

"Have mercy on an enemy who started the war!"

Orochimaru looked at the calm smile on Hanzo's face with some surprise, wondering why he suddenly said such a thing.

"maybe!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo shook his head slightly and stood up from his seat.

"Orochimaru, as one of the people who witnessed my defeat at the hands of Master Naoki, do you think that I am just a puppet living under the control of Master Naoki?"

Orochimaru looked even more surprised, unable to figure out what Hanzo was thinking at this moment. Even through the emotional fluctuations coming from Hanzo's heart, Orochimaru couldn't find any useful answers.

"Your Excellency Hanzo, perhaps what I say is a bit abrupt."

"But in fact, Nao Shu told me at the beginning that you have been completely controlled by his illusion."

"Why are you acting like this?"

Hanzo showed a look of reminiscence on his face and turned to look at Orochimaru.

"Why is my current behavior no different from normal people, right?"

Orochimaru did not refute Hanzo's words and nodded slightly. Judging from his understanding of genjutsu, Hanzo's current reaction is very unreasonable.

"Actually, I only recently understood what the other gods that Master Shengshu imposed on me back then were!"

Hanzo turned around and looked out the window at the rainy scenery of Yuyin Village, his tone a little emotional.

"Master Naoki came to Yuyin Village not long ago and told me everything!"

"Actually, it's not necessary at all."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Orochimaru had a look of interest on his face.

"oh?"

"Is the illusion that Rope Tree planted for you called Other Gods? This is the first time I have heard the name of this illusion!"

He found a random chair and sat down, Orochimaru prepared to listen carefully to Sansho Hanzo's understanding of the so-called other gods.

Hanzo didn't care about Orochimaru's actions, nodded slightly, and continued:

"Lord Nogeshu told me that the Other God is an illusion that can change a person's mind."

"Based on the thoughts of the caster, other gods influence the soul of the caster, so that the mind of the caster can slowly transform into what the caster wants to see!"

Orochimaru looked shocked, feeling a little in awe of the terrifying ability of other gods.

"An illusion that can change people's minds."

"Then the person who fell under this kind of illusion is still the same person?"

Hanzo nodded in agreement.

"good!"

"Even from my own point of view, the me now is completely different from the me before!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but marvel, admiring the rope tree for possessing such a magical method.

After sighing for a while, Orochimaru suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Your original memory has not been affected?"

"In that case, haven't you thought of any way to escape from this illusion?"

Hanzo turned around and looked at Orochimaru, who looked surprised, and suddenly laughed.

"This is what I admire most about Mr. Shengshu!"

"Although Master Naoki used illusions to control my mind, he didn't hide any of this at all!"

"With his ability, it's easy to completely turn this old man into a puppet who obeys orders!"

Hanzo recalled the whole process of how Nagato, under the guidance of Nezuki, made puppets out of the corpses of three ninjas who were famous in the ninja world not long ago, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

One is Iwagakure's Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Murasaki, and the other is Shimura Danzo, known as the Darkness of the Ninja World. Although the last one is unknown, after the production is completed, the puppet releases three different kinds of energy. The Blood Succession Limit allowed Hanzo to know that this unattractive corpse must have been an extremely powerful man during his lifetime.

Hanzo shook his head, threw these irrelevant thoughts out of his mind, and continued:

"But he didn't!"

"Not only that!"

"In all the years I have been controlled by Lord Noge Tree's illusions, I have never been forced to do anything against my will!"

"Even because of Lord Nogeshu's illusion, I was able to recognize myself again, and my understanding of the way of the sword went further!"

"The current Rain Hidden Village has become stronger and stronger because of Master Nogeki's decision!"

"This coincides with my ideal!"

"In that case, why do I want to find a way to escape from this illusion?"

Hanzo glanced at Orochimaru, whose jaw was almost dropped, and said firmly.

Orochimaru felt the fanaticism coming from Hanzo and silently closed his mouth.

"The power of other gods."

"Is it actually so scary?"

"It's incredible!"

Orochimaru sighed in his heart for a while, feeling some pity or admiration for this demigod who was immersed in his own world.

After being silent for a while, Orochimaru finally remembered his purpose of coming to the Hidden Rain Village in advance. He slowly stood up from the chair, looked at Sanshouyu Hanzo with a solemn expression and said:

"Since I already know that Mr. Hanzo and Naoshu are on the same side, it will be easier for me to say some things!"

"Your Excellency Hanzo, as one of the commanders of the Konoha team this time, I am here to convey the military order from the Fourth Hokage Nawaki to the Amegakure Village!"

"I hope that everyone in Yuyin Village will work hard to cooperate and win this war for both countries!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo looked at Orochimaru's serious expression and nodded solemnly.

Orochimaru took out a handwritten letter from the rope tree from his arms and handed it to Hanzo.

"The Fourth Hokage has ordered that the Konoha ninja troops supporting the battlefields of the two countries will be led by Konoha jounin Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo!"

"During the war, the ninjas belonging to the Rain Hidden Village will be handed over to the two commanders for unified arrangements, and there must be no mistakes!"

Sanshouyu Hanzo looked solemn and took the military order handed over by Orochimaru with both hands.

"yes!"

"Everything is subject to the orders of Mr. Shengshu. There is no objection from everyone in Yuyin Village!"
